Social and ecological sustainability are recognized pillars of sustainable development. However, it is not always clear how they are supposed to be achieved jointly. This unclarity can lead to major tradeoffs between social and ecological sustainability which ultimately endangers our prospects for sustainable development. In Malmö, Sweden, the tension of social and ecological sustainability can be

Kalkskaliga nannofossil är spår av mikroskopiska organismer som utvecklades signifikativt under och efter slutet av trias, vilket kan ha påverkat havskemin samt kalkbildning i haven. Coccoliter, nannoliter och kalkskaliga dinoflagellater är vanligen förekommande kalkskaliga nannofossil som påträffas i övre trias. Denna studie syftar till att kvantifiera och undersöka laterala variationer hos kalksCalcareous nannofossils are microscopic remains of organisms that diversified considerably in and after the Late Triassic, and which may have influenced seawater chemistry and carbonate production. Coccoliths, nannoliths, and calcareous dinoflagellate cysts are important parts of many calcareous nannofossil assemblages in the Upper Triassic. This is a quantification study of an Upper Triassic lime

Public Affairs är en liten men inflytelserik bransch i Sverige och forskning visar att branschen har dåligt rykte, då den anses oetisk. Studien är baserad på kvalitativa intervjuer med Public Affairs-konsulter i Stockholm och syftet är att skapa större förståelse för hur en Public Affairs-konsult resonerar kring etik i sitt yrkesutövande. Detta innefattar hur de resonerar kring transparens, val avPublic Affairs is a small, yet influential industry in Sweden, however, research shows that the industry has developed a bad reputation for its lack of ethics. I have based my study on qualitative interviews with Stockholm based Public Affairs consultants with the purpose of creating a greater understanding of their approach to professional ethics. The essay includes how they reflect on transparen

Syfte: Syftet är att utvärdera huruvida den auktoriserade revisorns intressenter har kvar samma förtroende för revisorn trots att den teoretiska utbildningen har minskat. Metod: Uppsatsens metod bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod och det abduktiva tillvägagångssättet används. Insamlande av empiriskt material har skett ifrån 18 stycken artiklar och i form av 16 stycken icke-fysiska intervjuerPurpose: The purpose of the thesis is to evaluate whether the Certified Public Accountant’s stakeholders have the same trust for the accountant even though the theoretical educational qualification has decreased. Methodology: The method of the thesis is based on a qualitative research method and the abductive approach is used. Empirical material has been collected from 18 articles and by 16 non-p

In this globalised world, the interest of the general public in scientific knowledge is ever increasing. Research institutions and especially the scientists are more and more in demand to communicate their research findings and inform the general public. Surveys, however, suggest that the scientists’ engagement is lacking, as only a small amount of is actually engaging. This study explores key fac

Method: This study has used a deductive approach and a quantitative method. The hypotheses that were derived

Det senaste decenniet tenderar antalet barn som har en oroande skolfrånvaro öka enligt flera Svenska organisationer och myndigheter och bland dessa barn finns en stor andel med NPF-problematik. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka konsekvenserna för föräldrar med barn som diagnostiserats med autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) som också har eller haft en problematisk skolfrånvaro under det senaste

The entrepreneurial pitch plays an integral role in attracting financial capital for a new venture. Notably, previous research has shown that (1) female entrepreneurs are often subjected to discriminatory practices when applying for external capital and (2) entrepreneurs’ communication skills and personal attributes influence investor decision making. Building on these findings, this study explore

The Nigerian economy grew at an average rate of 7% between 20002011. However, recent drop in oil prices has led to calls for economic diversification away from oil. Using the services-led growth theoretical framework, this thesis provides an overview of the Nigerian service-sector. Through an analysis of descriptive statistics, the thesis showed that services have been contributing significantly t

3D-spektroskopi - Att blanda färg och sortera pussel Att blanda färg är något alla gjort i något läge av livet. Det bygger på att ögat har svårt att skilja på olika färger. Det har forskare löst genom att använda en spektrometer, som dock sätter andra begränsningar. I det här projektet visar vi att man kan undvika några av de begränsningarna med hjälp av en ny teknik, vilket skulle hjälpa forskniMulti-spectral imaging is a powerful approach in spectral analysis of objects with spatial details. However, such approaches are most often time consuming and experimentally complex since both spectral and spatial information in two dimensions are to be resolved. Presented here is an alternative approach to thee-dimensional spectroscopy, utilizing the Compressive Sensing methodology to treat a dig

Purpose: Brand public is a new theory developed as a brand communication on social media. The aim of this thesis is to reveal the value creation of brand public in contrast to the values created by brand community Methodology: We apply a postmodern perspective and our study is constructionistic, therefore we have selected the qualitative approach called netnography.

Väpnade konflikter och andra oroligheter i världen har lett till att många människor flyr sina hemländer och söker trygghet i något annat land. Många försöker ta sig till Europa. I brist på lagliga vägar tar många irreguljära vägar som ofta medför stora risker. Det vanligaste sättet är att korsa Medelhavet. De flesta båtfärder börjar i Turkiet med mål att ta sig till någon av de grekiska öarna. EU

The study examines how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Khartoum, Sudan work to address gender-based violence (GBV) and how they relate to international human rights law (IHRL) in the process. Emphasis is placed on how the over-politicization of GBV is hindering NGOs from effectively using IHRL as a tool. The results are based on qualitative field research, with in-depth interviews conduct

Heavy traffic loads on the California highways have given birth to the development of automated highways. With vehicles traveling without human interaction, tighter spacing between cars canbeachieved without jeopardizng safety, leading to improved highway throughput. Since no human driver is present to make judgements about velocity and spacing, knowing the road condition is important in order to

Recent high quality printers pose interesting questions on how to reproduce images taken by a video camera. A modern ink jet plotter has typically a resolution four times better than a good video camera. Pixel replication and bilinear interpolation give reasonable results, but have a tendency to blur the image. In contrast to these blurring phenomena, it is well known that the apparent visual qual
